[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#467223: Bug#467223: virtualbox-ose: Fails to upgrade

[Rune Kock]

I had this problem too.

The kernel module for the old vbox was not present for my current
kernel, and then it failed when trying to remove it.

Adding || true to /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose as described by Michael
Meskes solved the problem.  And I can see that the 1.5.6-1 version
contains this fix.

However, the bug remains when updating old versions.  Can't you change
the .prerm script to work around this?  It seems that aptitude will
automatically try the new .prerm script if the old one fails.
